Welcome

Thank you for visiting our blog. We hope you will learn a little more about our collective and the many ways the drum plays through us in the form of traditional rhythms from Ghana, Guinea, The Congo as well, our personal creations and variations.

Through the blog, you will see how the drum is an intricate part of our lives as a group and as individuals.

About Us

The resulting sound is from somewhere deep within; playing through us and resonating with you.
